Tipperary North
This profile is based on Census 2006 Small Area Statistics data published online at www.cso.ie/census/SAPs.htm. The census took place in the Republic of Ireland on 26th April 2006.
The Oireachtas Library & Research Service (L&RS) used this publicly available information to create profiles for the 43 constituencies used in the 2007 General Election. The profiles cover: demographic characteristics; the make-up of households and families; ethnic diversity; nationality and religion;education and employment profiles;and the state of the constituency’s housing stock.The L&RS has also added some electoral information for each constituency.
The variables used were selected from those available from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) in order to provide a reasonably detailed overview of the constituency. In calculating percentages,constituents who did not provide a response were excluded (unless otherwise indicated). A copy of the census questionnaire is available on the CSO website. The terminology used throughout this profile is, in general, the same as that used by the CSO.
The census data does not identify individual people; if certain variables could be used to identify people at the constituency level, this data is combined into larger groups by the CSO to prevent such identification.Percentages may not sum to 100 due to rounding.
A glossary of terms used by the CSO is provided at the beginning of the profile to give further information on selected variables.This profile and profiles for the other 42 Dáil constituencies may be downloaded from the Oireachtas website (www.oireachtas.ie) – they are accessible from the Dáil Éireann navigation menu.
